MG looks set to unveil a swoopy new electric SUV at next month’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, which could finally give the brand a rival to the best-selling Tesla Model Y, as well as the Skoda Enyaq and XPeng G6.

The new Toyota Land Cruiser is getting a 48V mild-hybrid system that’s designed to deliver “smoother, more comfortable performance both on and off-road,” but very importantly, the company says, in no way compromises the 4x4’s “ability to operate in extreme conditions and rough terrain”.

The Corvette ZR1X is so powerful that the Ferrari F80 is in its rear-view mirror | Auto Express

1 week ago | autoexpress.co.uk | Jordan Katsianis

If ever there was a collection of random letters and numbers that undersell something, it’s ‘ZR1X’. These unremarkable four characters aren’t attached to a small Japanese SUV or high-riding electric car – but the most powerful Chevrolet Corvette ever, with no less than 1,250bhp. On the new ZR1X, the American icon has been taken to a few orders of magnitude higher than ever before, meaning that on sheer numbers alone, it is brushing shoulders with hypercars.

Toyota is lining up its rally-bred GR Corolla for UK launch in the next 18 months, with the four-wheel drive hot hatch expected to join the much-lauded GR Yaris on UK roads. The Japanese brand has previously confirmed that the 296bhp Corolla will enter production at Toyota's UK plant in Burnaston, Derbyshire next year to help address lengthy global waiting lists, but is yet to say that the car, currently built only at a single factory in Japan, will be sold in Europe.
